Is Derrick Henry the best running back in the NFL right now?
I believe that Derrick Henry is pound for pound by far the best active RB to carry the rock in the NFL, The King is 6'3, 247 pounds, King Henry has had 3 seasons with 1,000+ Rushing Yards and has been the most productive RB in the NFL over the last 3 years, last year King Henry was on a legendary trajectory, until his season came to an abrupt end due to his foot injury. Henry has already accomplished a list of Things such as: NFL Offensive Player of the Year 2020, first-team All-Pro 2020, 2-time Pro Bowl selection 2019 & 2020, and 2-time league rushing champion in Both 2019 & 2020.
King Henry has been working on having a bounce-back season for The Tennessee Titans. Is it out of the question for the King to have another 2,000-yard season? I don't think so! I believe Derrick Henry will go on to become the 2nd RB in NFL history to come off an injury and rush for 2k "The first RB was Adrian Peterson in the 2012-2013 NFL season", and the first player to ever rush for 2-2k seasons in the NFL. The future is still very bright for the King, The Titans will have many more TD runs, and stiff-arm reels in the future. The King Derrick Henry has 2 years left on his contract. Reports have been going around that the Titans are considering an extension before then. Reports From ESPN say that the Titans are open to a new deal for Henry, whose contract is over at the end of the 2023 season. Henry signed a 4-year deal worth $50 million before the start of the 2020 season. The only question now is what kind of contract is fitting for the best RB in the NFL? only time will tell. However right now is a strange time for RBs in the NFL, out of the top 45 rushing seasons in league history only 1 has come in the last 5 years, and it was King Henry's 2020 season where Henry rushed for 2,027 yards, which ranks 5th all time in NFL history. We are in a time where the NFL values its WR's more than its RB's is there room for The King to get a Kings Contract? I do believe so; Derrick Henry means too much to the overall Production and success of the Tennessee Titans.
